Our article “UK weather: Six areas issued tornado warning with hail and lightning forecast today” October 7, incorrectly reported that the “Tornado and Storm Research Organisation (TORRO) has issued a warning for six areas of the UK” and that “Tornado alerts have been issued for six UK regions”.
In fact, although TORRO had forecasted that “some back low-level flow ahead of the trough could allow a tornado or two to develop”, they made clear that “This is not a tornado warning – TORRO does not issue tornado warnings”.
We are happy to clarify this and apologise for the error.
